- green1152, on 10/12/2007, -1/+43The "Life's Too Short For The Wrong Job" ones are great.
- gatorsrule21, on 10/12/2007, -1/+40Love those, but I think the best one is the "This spot is reserved for drunk drivers."
Reminds me of the ones I saw that were painted in front of a handicap sign that said "Every 47 seconds, a drunk driver makes another person eligible to park here." - RichPowers, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27See, I wouldn't mind advertising so much if more companies did cool stuff like that Folgers one. It sure beats another damn billboard or sign popping up.
- punkrockxtian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24I don't think that freshly brewed coffee and raw sewage is a good analogy.
- citrivium, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22@ davdav
if you noticed, he said atm machine (ATM standing for Automatic Teller Machine) so it would be automatic teller machine machine, and when he said PIN number (Personal Identification number) would be Personal Identification Number number. Just to clear things up - vbsurfer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20and anyways, heres a better link with more ads: http://www.creativecriminal.blogspot.com/ (not my blog)
- rubberbandage, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19The folgers one is brilliant. Well… really it means that every inch of our planet is grounds for advertising.
- maskd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Ahhhh... Reminds me of my computing teacher; "Oh look at that GUI Interface!".
I could never muster up the heart to correct him - bejitunksu, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19You know, you could always LINK to the old digg instead of spouting off aimlessly and being an ass.
- mkaufman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15I especially like the file name:

She's probably entering her PIN Number... - schurkenstadt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15It's not a sewage hole but a steam hole. So no ***** is going down there.
- jsaya, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14I either get "Service Temporarily Unavailable" or all the picutres don't load on duggmirror.
This works for me: http://sherbsblog.com.nyud.net:8080/photos/cleveradvertising.php
or http://sherbsblog.com.nyud.net:8090/photos/cleveradvertising.php - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Down already!
- achanani, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12i think this is a blog with a lot more gr8 print ads. have a look
http://www.creativecriminal.blogspot.com/ - briguy200, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7it reminds me of any time somebody says they need a NIC card for their computer network.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Nevermind, I guess it's real: http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/67835.htm
- mrberns, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I just spent two hours on that page. That's an insane amount of creative ad campaigning
- crash999, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Somehow I doubt that steam smells like Folgers!
- Ductapemaster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5The Coral Cache works better than duggmirror this time...
http://sherbsblog.com.nyud.net:8080/photos/cleveradvertising.php
I wish all advertisements could be this creative...30 second spots on TV just don't cut it these days (thats why you Tivo it and SKIP the ads!)... - gd007, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5the coffee cup is simply awesome!
- JustAGamer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3They were cool and it gets a digg from me just for having a link to revision3 on it......diggnation rules!
- bigmanoren, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I believe most of the American ones were done by Saatchi & Saatchi - one of the most talented ad agencies ever
- clabbergrrl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3That's got to be one of the most annoying and dysfunctional UI's I've ever seen.
Why is it that self-styled "artists" always have to screw up perfectly functional and time-tested UI's? - adrianguru, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3BS those were funny,
- orangetiki, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The one in the photo booth looked like one of my teachers from college. Including the wrecked hair
- maximinus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@thydzik: I managed to get to the original, it also had that problem for me (also in Firefox). The mirror suffered from it too, but after several refreshes I eventually got all of them...
- thydzik, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5two i believe have been covered already both coffee ads.
on another note, anyone else having problems with the mirror and firefox, every time a refresh the number of pics change :/ - dready, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2They're actually really good
- obijohn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Precioussssss and I loves these things too.
- Solafa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I loves these kind of things, now only if more companies did such things i would not might it as much as i do now.
- notastat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1"Try our curries - you'll never get better..." That is truly hilarious 'advertising' if you know what I mean.

- obeattie, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Love the coffee one!
- tripm, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3The "Service Temporarily Unavailable" one is very clever indeed.
Wait, they all seem to be the same Service Temporarily Unavailable ad! - Zhay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Why did you open a chain mail letter in the first place?
- Killerbean83, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Saw 2 pictures, then I got the famous 503 error. Damn all you diggers! *shakes fist*
- sherb, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3I actually got them from an email today :D... also looks like i need some new hosting. That was just pathetic.
- flowaus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Yep ---- quite quite diggfvcked.
- migla, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3While these ads are clever and entertaining, the "better" and mor effective an advertisement is, the worse it is, since they're designed to influence people.
"You are Satan's spawn filling the world with bile and garbage. You are ***** and you are ***** us. Kill yourself. It's the only way to save your ***** soul, kill yourself."
-Bill Hicks on advertising- and marketingpeople. - inactive, on 12/29/2007, -1/+1Those ads are goods. Here are some more I found: http://funny-advertising-pictures.blogspot.com/
- tysonmoore, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Funny, the server is down. (Maybe from all the Digg user traffic!)
- Bex104, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Less than creative advertising:
"Try our curries - you'll never get better..." - themacx, on 10/12/2007, -8/+860 diggs and it's dead well someone needs an upgrade...
- PeterCub, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Service temporarily unavailable.
So bad... - vbsurfer, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Server just died.
- mikeazorin, on 10/12/2007, -7/+5If you are having problems viewing the page, just refresh the original a few times.
- smohan123, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2@gatorsrule21
Oh no, that's terrible! "Every 47 seconds, a drunk driver makes another person eligible to park here."
Political correctness out the window on that ad campaign, lol... - c64plus4, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1No digg. Not that clever!
- cwcheang, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2=D
